Steve Spurrier still has the juice when it comes to getting good quarterbacks to notice South Carolina. This week, he wrested away four-star QB Connor Mitch from other SEC powers, including Alabama, Auburn and LSU.

Mitch is a 6-foot-3, 210-pound traditional drop-back quarterback out of Raleigh (N.C.). Along with the SEC offers, he also had offers from North Carolina, N.C. State and Tennessee.

“I don’t know if it was a difficult decision, but it was stressful,” Mitch told the Raleigh News and Observer. “There was a lot going on in my head. But with South Carolina, it was love at first sight. I knew I wanted to go there after my first visit. It has everything that I want.”

As a junior, Mitch threw for 3,832 yards and 51 touchdowns and led Wakefield High School to a 10-2 record. As a sophomore, he threw for 3,332 yards and 37 touchdowns.

“Most coaches say I have great footwork in the pocket,” Mitch told Sporting News of his best attributes last month.
